I finally got around to improving some of the Glock 20's shortcomings. I wanted to make my Glock 20 into a fast and accurate combat pistol. The first thing that had to go was the sights. Everyone knows that the factory Glock sights leave a lot to be desired. The plastic goal post and front...

I have a G20SF with a 4.75in lone wolf barrel on it and I want to load up some training rounds. What is the advantage of cast bullets vs copper plated bullets? They are about equal in price, are they equal in accuracy?

Hey guys, I just got a new Glock 27 for concealed carry and I would like to know what your favorite bullet weight is. I use heavy bullets in the 10mm but I wonder about the case capacity of the .40 with the heavy bullets when compared to the 10mm. Out of the 3.42in barrel, is heavy and slow...

I'm going to work on a matching pair of Remington 700s to hunt anywhere in the world. I know for a large caliber I want a .375 H&H and for the smaller caliber I am thinking of a .30 cal or a 7mm. The issue is that I cannot decide which one! There are too many good ones out there and I would...

I'm trying to shrink my vertical dispersion at 600 yards with service rifle. I got about a 3 MOA spread but I know I can cut that in half with some better loading practices. I currently drop my charges with the dillon powder measure but it's not as exact with IMR4064 as I'd like it to be...

I just got an M1A over the weekend and need some loads for competition. Does anyone have loads for 125s, 168s or 175s using IMR 4064 or Norma 203-B? Additionally, I've read that 203-B is almost identical to RL-15, could I use RL-15 data for 203-B?

I just shot my first 80-shot Across the Course match today with my M1 today. It was a whole lot of fun. The wind was killer for off-hand and was blowing pretty hard whenever I wasn't in the pits. I shot a 505. Need to order a couple thousand custom competitions and get out there and practice.

I just got the official notification this morning that I will be moving to Louisiana next summer. Has anyone hunted on or around Fort Polk? How big do the deer get around there? How's the hog hunting? How the heck do you field dress a gator? I'm not a swamp guy but I'm familiar with...

Do any of you leftys have any experience with the stainless Tikkas? I'm naturally a lefty but have been shooting right handed for awhile but I'm looking to make the switch because my right shoulder is jacked.

I have my dad's Remington 700 in .300 Win Mag now and I want to bed it. I'm going to use devcon steel bedding and I'm really comfortable with the process but I'm wondering if pillar bedding would be absolutely necessary. I've never done a wood stock before so I have no idea.

What is the recommended twist rate for the 6.5 Swede to shoot the 140 grain bullets? I appreciate any input.

I'm considering building a WSM on an intermediate length zastava mauser action. I'm considering the 270, 7mm, and the 300 but it's going to come down to which maintains the most performance at shorter barrel. I think my max barrel length will be 20 inches. Which cartridge do you all think...

I have recently begun to have issues with my Remington 700 in 308 win. The bolt rides over the last round in the magazine. The magazine box was bedded with the action and the rifle has about 1500 rounds on it. I was thinking that it was because the magazine spring is getting weak. What do...

What is the difference between a match chamber and a standard chamber? Is it the neck thickness and different tolerances or am I totally off?

What kind of brass do you all run for M1Gs and M1As? Do you all go for cheap stuff like R-P and Winchester because it gets beat up quickly or do you go for more expensive and more durable brass like Nosler, Lapua, maybe Hornady? I want to buy 1000 pieces but I want to buy the best brass to...

Is there a way to measure case stretch to prevent case head separation? I have 11x fired Lapua brass that has been full length resized except for the last loading. How do you guys know when to ditch your brass and start with a new batch?

I'm having trouble with the expander ball in my .308 Win sizing die being difficult to pull back out of the case. I'm only having trouble on one batch of Lapua cases that have been 9X fired. Never had an issue before this. What's the deal here?

I picked up four pounds of Norma 203-B from Powder Valley with the intention of using it until I can get a good supply of IMR 4064. The first 50 rounds of load development were not impressive but not to be deterred (Cause I only used half a pound and I don't know what else I'd use it in) I...

My buddy gave me 200 rounds of 9mm Speer Gold Dot 124 grain +P and I wanted to make sure before I shot any of it that it's safe to use in a standard Gen 3 Glock 17 chamber. Does it matter?

A few months ago I ordered a field grade HRA M1 Garand from CMP. I didn't hear anything for two and a half months so I gave them a call. The customer service rep notified me that they no longer had field grade HRAs, but was able to offer me a Springfield instead. Awesome! That's what I...
